After over a year with no wins, the last three races being very-limited allowances, my 5-time Graded-stakes winner, Jumpin' Java, has been "she-maled" and sent to an appointment with Ghostzapper. The offspring will be a 3yo, and I sure hope he can display at least some of the talent of his "mommy".
Jumpin' Java won 2 Grade 1's and was 2nd in another. He also won a G2 and a pair of G3's. He bankrolled a little bit more than $2.5 million sim-dollars.
Goodbye, old friend...

First update: I chose a rather poor name for her... Jumpin' Myrtle. Since the sire was Ghostzapper, I tried to find a different-than-usual ghost reference to tie to the Jumpin' (I love swing music!) part. Best thing I could come up with at the moment was Moaning Myrtle, from the Harry Potter phenomenon.
Second update: Jumpin' Myrtle gets her first start this Saturday in 3826.8014, a MSW affair at 8F on the dirt. I don't usually debut my horses around 2 turns, but Ghostzapper was a monster at 9-10F IRL, and has generally shown that kind of influence so far in the Sim. Since she's just RTG, I gave the jock .94 instructions.
